Very sticky Cruise Control 'ON" button!

All the other buttons on the steering wheel press very easily and smoothly. You really have to bury your thumb into the CC 'ON' button to depress it.

Has anyone ever tried to apply aerosol electrical contact cleaner around the perimeter of one of these buttons? There is no obvious evidence of anything being spilled on it but there still could be some goo build up around and behind the button.

I already tried blowing it out with a compressed air can, but that didn't work. The button still does work so my concern is that the electrical contact spray will do some harm, rather than possible good.

I used aerosol silicone on the button. It now works slick as you know what. In the end I do not know whether it just needed to be lubricated OR that the socket needed to be cleaned out. Maybe a little bit of both. But it sure is nice not to have to put my whole forearm into the button to get it to depress.
